For Custom Apparel Shops

Custom prints.
Production speed.

For custom-print shops, screen and DTG printers, embroidery shops and on-demand apparel makers handling many small orders.

Custom apparel shops live in the small-batch world: fifty shirts for a school, twenty for a band, a hundred for a corporate event, each with its own art and colours. The shops that win prepare files fast so they can quote tighter and deliver sooner. Texloom Studio speeds up that preparation: sharpen and upscale low-resolution customer art, remove backgrounds, vectorize logos, match colours to coded library colours the customer can approve, and separate artwork for screen printing with trapping and a white underbase.

Why custom apparel teams choose Texloom

Challenges we solve

Customer art is often low resolution, blurry or in the wrong format.
The AI Image Upscaler enlarges it up to 4x, Anti-Blur sharpens soft images, and the Format Converter changes formats and sizes.
Logos need clean edges for screen printing and embroidery.
Background Remover cuts the logo out and Vectorize Studio converts it to SVG, EPS or PDF.
Colour matching between the customer's screen and the printed ink is unreliable.
Match each colour to its closest Texloom library colour; the customer approves the codes and production works to them.
Screen-print orders need separated colours, and dark garments need an underbase.
Separation Studio splits the artwork into spot-colour plates with trapping, a choked white underbase and registration marks.
